The Marla Saga - fantasy/adventure Audiobook Series
firerat for Orphan Boys
BOOK 1
Around the ages of 10-14
They are all orphans just like Marla, though they all tend to bully her or others around them. Most of them only have a few lines, some as little as one-three. Most likely will double cast anyone who plays an orphan. There’s also a few extra unnamed background voices that can be given to any of them.
You do NOT need to audition for all the orphans and can instead just audition for one or two of them.
Johnny - freckled, spiky raven hair, slightly older than Marla ~has about 3 lines
”Ew, It’s Marla.” (jeeringly with a cackle)
“You forgot something!”
(scrutinizing) “That’s freaky.”
Daniel - only two or so years younger than Marla small thin torso, short blond hair ~has only 1 line
”Hope she didn’t touch any of my stuff. That’d be gross.”
Jacob - smarmy and a tattletale, a bit tough and aggressive ~has about 5 lines
”Yeah. What a weirdo.”
(tattletaling) “See, I told you she was sleeping in the hallway.”
(coyly) “That’s not a good thing you know, to be sleeping here. It’s unsanitary and means that she’s been skipping out on chores. I’m concerned she’s becoming a wild child.”
(upset) “Really?! You’re letting her get away with it?!”
Billy - curly blond hair, clear blue eyes, scrawny, big round glasses ~has about 5 lines
(condescending) ”You believe me. A freak like you HAS too.”
“Why won’t you say it?”
(crying out) “It’s the monster! It’s the monster!”
(almost excited, but still scared) “It’s the monster! See! I told you! It’s the monster!”
Is your microphone quality always like that, or just for the audition? Thank you for your audition, by the way!
Sadly, it isn't an actual microphone, which could explain if it doesn't sound too great...I could try it again in a different location, perhaps. And you're very welcome - actually, thank you for listening! :-)
